R53 Production Week 36 (9/4/06)
#178
No, Powerband, you did not order the wrong color... you know how sexy you'll look in the liquid DS. The main reason I went to RG is because my youngest daughter is always commenting on how all of my cars haven't had color (the last two being light silver — prior to that she has no memory). Ergo the RG. I swear there is color in there... and I'd seen one once that turned my head around. As it is an '06 color addition and the last of the "Supercharged", I figured I'd add to its "collectible" value. But let's face it... I've never seen a MINI color I didn't like. They are a handsome bunch, they are!

I hope ASKUSAMINI is correct. They say I'm week 36. Going to the MINIUSA site and getting a response of " On Order" is getting old. Ordered 7-31-06.
Softtop season is getting short in Ohio.
Anyone interested in a 1988 Mazda "88 RX7 Convertible? 56K Miles.
Need to sell before delivery of MCSC.

I feel so much more legit now.
I wasn't expecting much, but for kicks I ran my VIN through the BMW/MINI VIN decoder and it comes up as a Rolls Royce Phantom.

so, hadn, our cars might not get painted together but mine can appear to be your twin sister (without the shiny chromy stuff) and may end up crossing the pond in the same boat
